Senior Member npk21 Posted December 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 Greetings, I had done my FUT in 2014 of 3200 grafts, which we successfully done by Dr Radha (India), but due to scalpe psoraisis , there was a lot of itching and burning sensation, and with time I lost a lot of hair, neither the scalp has improved from itching condition and now even the hair loss is disaster. 1)Which doctor should i consult in Mumbai , I do not wish to travel out of city due to pandemic. 2) Should I go for Prp or FUE or FUT now? Kindly check the photos and do let me know.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ITA Posted December 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 @npk21 I'm sorry, this is another case that confirms what I think, and that is that if the scalp is not healthy, there are no transplants that take, to be honest, you were very lucky that your transplant lasted six years, my advice is to go to a trichologist first to try to heal your psoriasis, otherwise any other transplant you do, even top surgeons, will eventually end up like the first one. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member npk21 Posted December 10, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 There is no permanent solution for psoraosis.. All what i can do is keep applying ointment and reduce the burning sensation.. But...the hair loss is too much now...and hence i need a treatment for the same.. I just don't know which doctor should i visit for the same in Mumbai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Louisjams Posted December 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 There are excellent treatments for psoriasis now in the form of biologics: talk to your doctor about these - ustekinumab (Stelara) ixekizumab (Taltz) secukinumab (Cosentyx) guselkumab (Tremfya) brodalumab (Siliq) certolizumab pegol (Cimzia) tildrakizumab (Ilumya) risankizumab (Skyrizi) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member UnbaldEagle Posted December 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Man, I'm sorry you're going through this. That was a great result. Well, good news is hair loss due to scalp psoraisis is not permanent, there's coal tar and steroid creams to alleviate the condition, also check out the ones Louisjams listed, and go see a good trichologist. BTW, it appears to me that the transplanted hairline remained more or less intact, whilst you lost hair in areas where you were not fully bald. Are you sure it's not MPB doing its thing too? 6 years is a lot of time. Are you on any preventive medication?

Senior Member npk21 Posted December 10, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 Thanks a lot of this information...will definately show to a good trichologist soon.. I met few HT doctors in my locality, but they said that it will not cure and asked me to go for HT without taking any treatment for scalpe..

Senior Member npk21 Posted December 10, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 Sadly...I am not on any medication... But now i wish to get rid of this psoriasis and go for another HT session.. I just need a good doctor in India who can perform best FUE.. Or do you think taking PRP for few months can grow back hair on bald patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member 1978matt Posted December 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 I have a friend with psoriasis and this looks nothing like it to be honest. To me it just appears you continued to lose more hair behind the first HT. You could do a small session of 1000 grafts to check it grows ok, if there really is some kind of dematological condition. 1 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member npk21 Posted December 10, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 I don't know at which level this psoriasis is... But it gives a lot of burning sensation on my head and nose.. Will consult a trichologist soon for the same.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted December 10, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 10, 2020 That looks like scarring alopecia or LPP, you need a biopsy from a dermatologist.

Senior Member ITA Posted December 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 @npk21 you have to be seen by an excellent trichologist, in any case your hair, the ones you had after the procedure, will never come back even after the possible treatment, then, when your psoriasis is totally healed (you must be sure), you can think to a new ht.

Senior Member Louisjams Posted December 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 Do NOT go to a trichologist...you need to see a real doctor for psoriasis. Some dermatologists specialize in this, as psoriasis is a complex area. Find someone like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it just appears you continued to lose more hair behind the first HT. @npk21 I tend to agree with the above sentiment. If you aren't taking any kind of DHT blocker, it was inevitable you would lose more hair. MPB and Psoriasis are separate conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know which doctor should i visit for the same in Mumbai. You may want to look into purchasing some 100% pure Emu oil to help with psoriasis. I used it on my scalp nightly after my HT and for up to a year or so and it helped ease any itching/dandruff issues. It’s a known natural anti-inflammatory and may help with psoriasis.

I just don't know which doctor should i visit for the same in Mumbai. you look relatively young , Dr. Radha is a good FUT doctor , dunno how she accepted you for the surgery with psoriasis ? of course under magnification she would have seen that the skin was not Normal and hence should have called off the surgery in my opinion OR at least informed you of the complications ? I thought you did not need DHT blockers with FUT, as the grafts are taken from the very safe donor zones , unlike FUE where unsafe zones are always used as the area is wider .... Im surprised to know that you need blockers with fut also , or maybe the psoriasis made the hair fall out ? anyways i suggest you better treat the condition before doing another procedure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This poster still had some of his native hair on top of his scalp, and a DHT blocker would increase the chances of keeping that hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
